Tantrum turns deadly

» The opinion piece, "Was the killing of Iran's Soleimani justifiable?" on Jan 8 misses the point. The point is that Donald Trump was feeling frustrated about a number of things (being impeached, the attack on the embassy in Iraq) and some dim-witted general gave him the option of lashing out to express his frustration and he did. Afterwards, all his enablers are trying to make it sound like some rational, well thought out decision, but in fact, it wasn't much different than a small spoiled child impulsively lashing out in anger because things weren't going his way.
